Transcode for G1

I have finally gotten my new mythbox up and running. Now I want to transcode recordings for my HTC G1. My old box did not have the horsepower to do this. I don't have a clue how to proceed.
Is the default method and/or script the best?
Is there a better way?
What is a good script for this?
I would appreciate any input and suggestions. I am really learning something new now.

2 pass FFMPEG on the commandline:
Code: Select all
ffmpeg -i inputfile.mpg -aspect 16:9 -s 320x240 -vcodec libx264 -b 480k -r 13 -acodec libfaac -ab 128k -sameq -pass 1 -f rawvideo -an -y /dev/null && ffmpeg -i inputfile.mpg -aspect 16:9 -s 320x240 -vcodec libx264 -b 480k -r 13 -acodec libfaac -ab 128k -ac 2 -sameq -pass 2 outputfile.mp4

Mythexport:
In the
Mythexport setup select 'custom' and name it
'AndroidG1'. This will create a skeleton entry in 'mythexport_settings.cfg'.
Add the following to the ffmpegArgs line:
Code: Select all
'ffmpegArgs=-aspect 16:9 -s 320x240 -vcodec libx264 -b 480k -r 13
-deinterlace -acodec libfaac -ab 128k -sameq -pass 1 -f rawvideo -an -y
/dev/null | -aspect 16:9 -s 320x240 -vcodec libx264 -b 480k -r 13
-deinterlace -acodec libfaac -ab 128k -ac 2 -sameq -pass 2'

Thank's Pat! There are so many things I can do with a little power. I use to just record and watch. I have so much to learn.
Onward thru the fog.

hey Pat , were you ever going to revisit mythexport. I'm still a bit confused on how to use it and i thought you were going to do a show with the developer. or did that one get trashed in the google phone ?
